and now for something really silly, motivated by monkey : artist_credit_sortnames.

I remember at the summit in London in 2008 when we debated if we ever needed artist_credit_sortnames we couldn't come up with a reason for having them.

What's the use case? I'd expect in any case that if you have a use for this as well in LB, we should look into materializing this for the next schema change?

the artist_name is in japanese, but the sort_name is romanized.

Yes, sort names are all supposed to be in Latin script
2025-03-06 06542, 2025
mayhem[m]
I would like to find all artists where that is the case. do you know how to do that?
2025-03-06 06547, 2025
reosarevok[m]
It's always been the guideline
2025-03-06 06553, 2025
reosarevok[m]
So if any are not, that's an error

(of course some are not, but :) )

mayhem[m]
neat. so if the artist_name is not in latin script, then bingo, i found a case, right?
2025-03-06 06555, 2025
reosarevok[m]
In theory, yes. Most non-Latin artist names will have Latin sortnames, except ones added by people who don't know the guideline
2025-03-06 06511, 2025
reosarevok[m]
Most Russian composers, Japanese/Korean pop bands, etc
2025-03-06 06527, 2025
reosarevok[m]
(ok, I guess a lot of k-pop and j-pop bands do have Latin names to begin with)

I can't guard against bad data, so I wont. but that is what I needed to know, thanks!
2025-03-06 06505, 2025
reosarevok[m]
So what's the use case, and how are you planning to calculate the sort names for ACs?
2025-03-06 06524, 2025
reosarevok[m] needs to go for a bit, back in an hour max

(I'll read / answer then)

This would be used for matching listens, where the ibncoming listen data will bewhatever your player sends (so fairly often romanized names, which currently result in no match)

Why can't the UI block entering non-latin sort names?

dvirtz[m]: Not every user will know how to latinize stuff :)

I think we'll need a follow-up PR in any case, so if we find more bugs I'm expecting to fix them on the heels of deploying it.

Just want to avoid piling on more work in this giganto-PR
